On the nose, ripe strawberry melds with barrel spice, licorice and cedar.  The opulent texture is notable on the palate with a feminine and refined tannin structure leading to a racy, lengthy finish.

Clay, exotic spices and smoky Bing cherry offer enticing aromas.  Broad and smooth on entry, leading to pure black fruit flavors, earth, spices and wood with a sound structure and high-toned finish of pie cherry and cranberry.
